Justine is a nurse at the Nantes University Hospital. Last Wednesday, she came across a live by Guillaume Canet on Instagram. For the past week, the actor has given voice to caregivers on this social network. She posts a comment and finds herself chatting live with him for eight minutes. Appointment is made for another live: Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m., this time at the CHU de Nantes. Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, Justine’s surgery department has been converted to the covid-19 unit.
“It’s good for us, explains Justine. We are not used to that, we only do our work and it seems normal to us but it is appreciable that famous people, who have a certain visibility make it possible to highlight what we do. “
Pass messages
So this afternoon, the team was there. After recalling that the Loire-Atlantique department had been rather preserved from covid-19 with just under 1,000 people tested positive since the start of the epidemic, Justine called for “don’t do anything”. “There are still people who die everyday from covid-19, she recalled, so people have to be vigilant and respect barrier gestures “.
Opposite, Guillaume Canet recognizes it, the more time passes, the more we move away from the disease and the potential risk: “We get used to this life where we watch series and where we talk with our friends, that’s why it’s important to talk with people like you who are in the concrete. It helps to remember that you have to be careful, and there is a risk of a second wave. ”
Another message that caregivers tried to get across: “We see a lot of people shopping with gloves, we mustn’t do it. It’s counterproductive and it pollutes. We change gloves with each treatment, and between treatments, we wash our hands . It’s better for people to be thorough on handwashing. “
“When we have to take to the streets, we will be with you”
Justine and her colleagues also took the opportunity to pass messages on their working conditions and remuneration for example. “People ask us a lot how they can help us, says Justine. The situation has been critical in hospitals for a long time, but when we go on strike, we cannot paralyze France for 3 weeks, we are requisitioned and we come to work with an armband, it has no impact. So we would like to tell people that we may need them, that they will mobilize for us, that they will demonstrate in the street for us “.
Again, Guillaume Canet recognizes this: “I am the first to say it, when there were demonstrations, I was in my little everyday life, and therefore not necessarily listening. It is awful but the current event is so serious that it puts us on alert. When we have to take to the streets, we will be with you. “
Leïla Bekhti confirms: “Bravo from the bottom of my heart, concludes the actress. It’s kind of rubbish in the face of everything you’re going through. You have this humility to take it with a smile but when I see that you have blouses in trash bags, it makes me angry! I promise we will be there. “
Message received for caregivers. Guillaume Canet promised it, he will repeat the operation. To follow these lives, go to his account Instagram.
